The arrester housing is made from our proprietary blend of ESP silicone alloy.

5 In addition to ESP s exceptional performance as an insulator material, ESP s properties have been confirmed in a series of performance tests which include tracking resistance, contamination, aging, and seal PDV/PVR arresters can be used with all standard mounting arms and brackets. They come with all the necessary fasteners, isolators, and terminal attachments. A specially designed glass-filled polyester insulating bracket, with integrated disconnector, along with optional mounting brackets such as the cross arm or transformer bracket, enable mounting the arrester in a way which best suits each individual customer. Below is a typical cross section view of one of our distribution type arresters. Cutaway View of Typical PDV/PVR UnitIntroductionThe PDV-100 arrester was introduced in 1986 as the very first non-ceramic arrester for heavy duty applications.

6 Now, 18 years and 15 million arresters later, we are pleased to introduce the newest addition to the Ohio Brass arrester family, the PDV-100 Optima. Ohio Brass offers a full line of polymer arresters for distribution voltages. The newest in the line, the PDV-100 Optima, adds all the benefits of a heavy duty distribution arrester, combined with a new disconnector which improves system reliability and increases TOV capability. The PVR targets cable applications where low discharge voltages promote longer cable life. The PDV-65 is our normal duty arrester offering cost effective PDV-100 Optima joins an impressive list of advances that Ohio Brass has brought to arrester technology since it began making arresters in 1950. Improvements in design, such as the Optima have increased protective margins and durability.

7 More important in terms of dollars and service reliability, Ohio Brass arresters have generated substantial savings for utilities.

8 Eight arresters of each type were tested. Per the standard, four samples were tested at the claimed high current withstand capability. Two of these samples were assembled with internal fuse wires. The other two were good arresters which were subjected to an overvolt-age condition, which failed the arrester (with a weak source). The arrester was immediately subjected to the claimed high current fault current. Two additional arresters were subjected to fault currents approximately half of the claimed high current value. The fault current duration for all high current tests was 12 cycles. Finally, two arresters were subjected to a nominal 600 amp, 1 second fault current test. All test arresters were 17 kV MCOV, the longest single module configuration used for each arrester type.

9 Tests were performed at full voltage (17 kV rms).Successful performance was demonstrated when the ep-oxy-fiberglass wrapped arrester modules burned through to relieve internal pressures associated with the fault current arcing. In all cases, the arrester remained intact, except at the high current levels which caused polymer housing fragmenta-tion, which is following table summarizes the claimed short circuit capabilities for the TypePDV 65 PDV 65 PDV 65 PDV 100 OptimaPDV 100 OptimaPDV 100 OptimaPVRPVRPVRS hort Circuit Design Test Report SummaryThe PDV-100 Optima and PDV-65 arresters have been tested in accordance with IEEE Standard for metal-ox-ide surge arresters.
